Topological Order with Degree Constraint

Thinking Mode

Summary

  • •Phase 2 / DP, Topological Sorting
  • •Reasoning-first competitive programming drill

Problem Description

Given a DAG with N nodes and M edges, count the number of topological orderings where all nodes with in-degree 0 are always placed before any node with in-degree at least D. How to read this problem in plain language: - This is a Phase 2 reasoning drill focused on DP, Topological Sorting. - Typical lenses to test first: dp, toposort, enumeration. - Constraints reminder: 1 ≤ N≤15, 0 ≤ M≤N∗(N−1)/2, 1 ≤ D≤N Mini examples for mental simulation: 1) Boundary example: Describe why this case is tricky. Explain expected behavior and why naive logic may fail. 2) Adversarial example: Adversarial case where naive greedy/local decision looks correct but fails globally. Lite-mode writing target: - Write 1~2 observations that shrink the search space. - Name one final algorithm and state target complexity explicitly. - Validate with at least 2 edge cases and one hand simulation.
